I went ahead and got 3 bottles of auto-rx for the 3 vehicles I have. My plan is to try it on the 1989 Jeep Cherokee 4.0 first. This is due to a couple of factors, not the least being it was due for an oil change anyway. It is also starting to seep from the rear main seal, and even if the product helps with that i...

Preventing leaks
(Preview)
Does Auto rx prevent or minimize leaks when using it on the maintence plan? Either Tacoma or Jetta have any present leaks at the moment but i was thinking on either using Maxlife 5W30 or Moble one 0W30 with maintence doses of Auto Rx. Both oils will be changed every 6 months or 7500 miles.
